That was a bit mad. Arsenal are caving under the pressure but also showing signs of being mentality monsters.
The Gunners have drawn their last two games but will be looking to go seven points clear at the top of the table with victory over rock-bottom Saints.
The visitors showed three alterations from the team that lost 2-0 at home to Crystal Palace with Arsenal loanee Ainsley Maitland-Niles ineligible against his parent club as Romain Perraud, Mohamed Elyounoussi and Adam Armstrong came in. Saints would double their advantage inside 15 minutes, former Arsenal forward Theo Walcott converting coolly having been played in by Alcaraz.
Ben White had a flicked header cleared off the line in first-half stoppage time as the league leaders went in 2-1 down at the interval.
